RIP Terry.

Deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

It saddens me to read some of the comments (one of the few RL boards) and less than 24 hours after the player's death, whatever feelings we have there is Respect and more so to Family and Friends who now carry pain and upset!

May Terry Rest in Peace and condolences to his Family and Friends.

The boundaries in such circumstances seem to be go with the flow or be banned. Pretty much like a lot of things on here TBH.

The boundaries seem to be much more of respect for both Terry Newton and, probably more importantly, his friends and families. It is very much a time for if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all.

Go away you idiot.

Condolences to his family who must be devastated.

Whatever my thoughts on Terry as a player, he made a poor decision which cost him everything. We all make mistakes in life and there needs to be lessons learned here.

If they don't already, the RFL should offer banned players support/counselling after such a ban rather than giving thm the sense that they are cast out in the wilderness.

Whatever you thought of him as a man, and sometimes as a player, he always gave his all for club and country, please respect that and the utter tragedy his family are now left with

I know that Saints fans genuinely feel aggrieved regarding some of Terry's actions, BUT I am really pleasantly surprised at most of these posts.

Much respect to you!

Sad to see Terry's 26,000+ members Facebook tribute page hijacked, I just hope respects are paid at the Final. I remember the entire wakefield crowd clapping Saints onto the pitch after the passing of a player, so there are some good folk in RL.
